Best Readings in Communications in Wireless Networked Control Wireless networked control has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry in the past two decades, and has become a hot topic in recent years, mainly driven by mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications requiring closed-loop control, such as intelligent transportation, Tele-surgery, industry automation, power systems automation, and power electronics control. Specifically, a wireless netw...

New role will center on envisioning post-pandemic research and education April 1, 2021 “I enjoy taking a broader view of the academic profession – beyond the footprint of my own research lab – to help support, empower and promote the people around me,” says Magnus Egerstedt, incoming dean of UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering. Gary Meek for Georgia Tech Irvine, Calif., April 1, 2021 – Highly respected robotics and control systems researcher Magnus ...

Spain: Study on climate control in greenhouses After 10 years of work in the development of easy-to-implement strategies, it publishes a study of air conditioning in cultivation under plastic that experimentally demonstrates the correct operation of the tuning rules that it created and disseminated in 2011. This last work has been developed within the framework of the thesis of Ana Paola Montoya, in collaboration with the doctoral candidate Francisco García Mañas and supervised by professors ...

Incremental Risk Minimization Algorithm Incremental Regression with Polynomials ↑ Incremental (or on-line) learning regression is the process of adapting a model one example at a time without accumulating a batch of data. It has the advantages of allowing continuous adaptation to non-stationary environments, easily handling big data through stream processing, and a fixed low computation and memory demand. The easiest solution is to perform a gradient descent on a squared error...

Model to assess the effect of lockdowns has fundamental shortcomings In a recent study, researchers from Imperial College London developed a model to assess the effect of different measures used to curb the spread of the coronavirus. However, the model had fundamental shortcomings and cannot be used to draw the published conclusions, claim Swedish researchers from Lund University, and other institutions, in the journal Nature. / nwT8_CyIcSI The results from Imperial indicated that it was almos...

"The goal of the first SETS mission is to demonstrate and confirm the space worthiness and performance of the sys...

When the chips are down, when youre in that moment fighting this automated system designed to improve safety but perhaps actually making things worse, when youre in that moment if you do the right thing in short order is a difficult thing. >> explain to me what the automated system, that automatic control would do and why pilots need special training to know how to counteract it. >> so when they built this new model of the 737, they put bigger engines on. more fuel efficient engines and moved th...

This automatic control. service was restored between washington and new york city this morning. that automatic train control installed before -- i mean this was like a week. if it can be installed that quickly, then why wouldnt it already have been installed on this dangerous curve, j.p.? >> well the investigators talked about the curve being 100-something miles an hour and the other not so much. but we got a serious situation in the press, we got people talking about it all over the united stat...

Through the front windshield. this could lead to a criminal investigation. we just dont know yet. engineers call this getting rocked and its fairly common around this part of the northeast corridor. they protect themselveses with grills on the front windshields. listen to jim hall. >> unfortunately, were familiar from previous accident investigation, various types of potential sabotage of various types of transportation activity. >> now whether or not this led to the train going 106 miles an hou...
